it does make it difficult ;-) but nobody asked for an "easy" game, they
asked for a game you could play while rained in/out!! 

we have also noticed, most locations starting in "A" end in "A" ... so
you run out of "A"'s really fast ;-) you can bring a mini-atlas if you
want, then have to delegate someone to "verify" place names... usually
the first eliminated, so they can't use the book to come up with new
places!!

what fun!! have played it many a time, but not in the last few years.
